Siblings are friends for a lifetime

Everyone goes though different changes in life some are easier to get over and others are more difficult. One difficult thing I have faced growing up was being the only girl in my family. I have 2 brothers one being my twin and an older one who is 20. They were very protective of me seeing as how I am their only sister. There were different times where they would purposely try and get me in trouble just because my parents would easily believe two over one. When I was younger I thought it was embarrassing since all of my friends brothers were "normal" and didn't really care what their sister did. Where I had to deal with them taking my phone to see who I am talking to or showing up places to see if I was really there, and also scaring away any guy that tried talking to me. I found it very annoying to the point where I tried yelling at them and proving to them that they did not need to be so protective. I felt like my parents enjoyed the fact that they treated me like that so I considered it a waste of time to even try and get them to do anything about it. Not until my junior year of high school they seemed to have calmed down about things. They were finally accepting the fact that I was getting older and knew my rights from wrongs. From then on I ended up becoming really close with my twin brother. We would talk about everything together. This could be the reason why they don't stalk my life anymore. Even though they are still protective about some things I realized that it is only because they care and are just trying to look out for me. I now appreciate all the times they would "embarrass” me and yell at me for certain things. I also thank them for always being there for me because we now have a stronger relationship with each other. Although, it was hard dealing with this problem I knew one day there would be an end to it. It made me a stronger person that I am now aware why they were so protective. This will help me in college because it allows me to deal with things better and always look for the purpose in it. I can also go to my siblings for help and advice in case I struggle in certain classes or particular areas in college.
